    just in case someone is still in need of a set of front spring bushings for a 1964 to 1966 chevy
    they are part # rb92 from general spring in olatha KS 18003993852 and i got the rear shackle bushings at rareparts.com BUT they were not quite right i had to use a steel spacer bushing to make them work

    How much are those metal cartridge ones???? And do they fit the spring and the bolt? What was the part number of the shackle bushings and how much did they cost??????

    theses are the shocks that i used , there off of a 96 toyota pick up . i had to use the shims out of the old shocks because toytoa used a 1/2 bolt and chevy used a 7/16 or a 3/8 bolt ? I just cut the shim out of the old shock they worked fine .

    these are the shackle bushings they were close but not right so i cut a piece of pipe and used it for a shim now they both fit nice and tite . I got them from orilies auto parts part # cl608610 for 17.44 you might get them derect from rareparts.com thats were they got them . they might even have a better fit ?
    I could of sent them back but it just seemed easier to make them work .

    Rock auto also has a listing for acdelco bushings as well as Raybestos bushings. Priced way better than Rareparts.

    The highlighted number is the original. 3848684 - HB698
    Closest to original is HB533
    Head is only 1/8th larger - ID & OD length are the same.

    Now we just need to find a cheaper alternative for the front bushing on our rear springs.
